This apple and orange cake fits a full kilo of fruit into a light, cinnamon-scented batter. It calls for everyday ingredients and one hour in a 180\u00b0C oven.<\/p>\n
The apples make up most of the cake. They are cut very thin and coated in orange so they keep their colour and pick up a citrus note before going into the mould.<\/p>\n
You will need one kilo of apples, peeled and cut. Add the grated zest of one orange and a quarter cup of orange juice. These are used only to coat the slices.<\/p>\n
The batter takes three large eggs and two-thirds of a cup of white sugar. You also need a second quarter cup of orange juice, half a cup of milk and one teaspoon of vanilla.<\/p>\n
The dry ingredients are one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, one teaspoon of baking powder and a quarter teaspoon of salt. Add one cup of all-purpose flour.<\/p>\n
For the finish, use two tablespoons of warm orange marmalade. Walnuts and icing sugar are added to taste.<\/p>\n
Peel the apples and slice them very finely with a sharp knife. Toss the slices with the orange zest and the first portion of juice. Mix well so every piece is coated, which stops them from browning.<\/p>\n
Put the eggs and sugar in a bowl and whisk them. Then add the remaining orange juice, the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.<\/p>\n
Stir in the flour until the batter is smooth. Fold in the apple slices until each one is covered.<\/p>\n
Line a cake mould with baking paper and pour in the mixture. Bake for a full hour in an oven heated in advance to 180\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
Once the cake is out of the oven, brush the top with the warm orange marmalade. Scatter the walnuts over it.<\/p>\n
Leave the cake to cool completely before slicing. A light dusting of icing sugar can be added just before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
